RALEIGH. n. c., December 20.-All Of
the county treasurers save ten have made
their report to the Superintendent OF
Public Instruction. The educational
showing will be good.
The Supreme Court decision IN what
is known as the Sampson county case cuts
off some special taxes for schools. 1t
prevents taxation beyond 6Gi cents on
property and y on poll for school pur-
poses. Prior to that decision twenty
counties levied special taxes for schools.
There are in the public schools 100000
white pupils aud l2j, 900 colored.
Governor Scales was better to-day and
was able b. sit up.
Charles Lee Smith, of this State, now
taking a special course in history at the
Johns Hopkins University, has prepared
history OF education Of North Carolina,
and it has been accepted by the United
States Bureau of Education for publlca-
ton in its series of educational histories
of the States. Mr. Smith is n graduate
of Wake-Forest College, and is ve1y
bright man. His history is highly
spoken of. He has devoted years of
labor to it.
Arrangements are in progress looking
to the development of great beds OF
kaiolin in the western part OF this state.
a prominent manufacturing firm IS con
cerned in the matter.
Charles L. Jones, white man who IS
in Newberne jail under sentence OF
death, has made full confession OF his
crime. He states that he induced his
wife to leave her fathers house, where
she had taken refuge from him, and that
when they reached Neuse river he took
her in boat. strangled her, and then
threw her body into the river. Jones
will be hanged January 18th.
The States finances are IN very sat
isfactory condition. There Is large
fund in the Treasury to meet the interest
on the debt The Treasurer was given
authority to purchase bonds, and has
done so to advantage. During the past
year he has made judicious purchases OF
both and 6 per cent. bonds. The
State has been the gamer 10y these trans
actions during the past three years to
the extent of over $40, 900.
Many of the Republicans here are
frank in saying they caunot and viii not
support Blaine for the presidency. They
state that his policy in tavoring CON
tinuation OF the internal-reyenue system
condemns him and puts him out Of the
race so far as they are concerned; but
there are some Republicans who do favor
Blaine, and there is no telling what may
result. Chairman Harris, OF the State
Committee, appears to be sort OF leader
of this anti-Blaine feeling. Some
Republicans favor Allison or Hawley.
There is little favor for Sherman. One
thing may be assumed as positive fact:
the North Carolina Republicans are very
apt to do anything to induce the National
Committee OF That party to throw a big
campaign fund into the State. They have
had no Doodle in several years aud itch
to get their hands on some once again.
